The E6B Classroom Trainer | |
|
Performing flight calculations is an essential skill every pilot must have, and the E6B flight computer is the primary tool for learning this aviation math. Fuel, distance, speed, time, angle, volume, arm, moment, capacity, duration, weight and balance are all numbers crucial to a flight plan. Teaching students how to perform calculations using an E6B can be challenging. The E6B Classroom Trainer from ASA makes teaching flight computer computation fun and easy.
It functions exactly like a handheld flight computer featuring a wind component grid and comprehensive crosswind correction chart on one side, and on the other side the slide computes time, speed, distance, altitude, true airspeed, and density altitude problems as well as conversions. This large-scale (33 inches wide, 84 inches tall), fully functional E6B flight computer is made of durable plastic and sets on a sturdy metal base that allows for complete 360-degree swivel! A dry or wet-erase marker can be used on the transparent surface for wind calculations.
